VipDolphins Luxury Whale Watching

This was one of the highlights of our honeymoon in Madeira! We booked the luxury dolphin and whale watching excursion in Funchal, and we were so impressed from start to finish. We loved that the experience was limited to a small group, which made the entire excursion feel very personal and relaxed. We were welcomed by the captain and two crew members, who were all incredibly friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. They shared so much information with us and made the experience both educational and fun. We were also pleasantly surprised by the level of service throughout the trip. There was a wonderful selection of food and drinks provided, and the boat itself was incredibly spacious and comfortable. They even took professional photos for us and send them after the trip. It truly felt like a luxury experience rather than just a typical boat tour. And, of course, seeing whales in the wild was absolutely amazing! After whale watching, we headed to a beautiful spot where we were able to get in the water and swim, which was the perfect addition to the day. We did have a small mishap with the boat during our excursion, but I have to give a lot of credit to the crew. They remained calm, professional, and collected, quickly worked through the issue, and still made sure we had an amazing experience. Their attitude really stood out to us and showed how committed they were to making the most of our day. We would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Madeira. It was such a memorable part of our honeymoon, and we would absolutely love to do it again!

The most amazing experience, very small personal group, fantastic attention to detail. The thing we liked most was the consideration given to the wildlife we saw unlike the so called eco tour company who chased the pod of dolphins, our crew were amazing and thoughtful.

Could not have asked for a better experience … we saw whales, dolphins, amazing sunset, and rising full moon over Funchal. The crew was fantastic and created a relaxed fun atmosphere whilel providing a lot of useful information.

Small group, nice experience and friendly staff. If you plant to visit Madeira, I suggest you to reserve it in advance, absolutely worth it!

Very professional and friendly crew. Very attentive. The boat is spacious (there were few of us). Impeccable service (towel and mask for swimming). I highly recommend.

Great experience. Boat and crew are top-notch. We even had the chance to see dolphins and whales.

A very pleasurable experience with friendly and knowledgeable staff, plenty of room on the catamaran as it is for small group, we went upstairs for a better view, however the first part of the trip was very windy and we struggled a bit to down our drinks of which there was a huge choice including a very nice Portuguese sparkling wine. We also enjoyed the little snacks both savoury and sweet. We were amazed to see how the staff coped with the swell, we were not so good but personally I tought it was hilarious! Importantly we saw quite a lot of pilot whales and managed to take a few pictures. Recommended

If you want a great trip, on a super boat, uncrowded, friendly, professional and fantastic value for money then I cant rate this any higher. The attention to detail, the food and drink service is one of the best ive experienced. Pay a few more £ and get a trip worth every penny. Thanks you VIP Dolphins team, when we next come to Madeira were coming back.. awesome well done.

A relaxing afternoon, drinks free flowing and crew very attentive.

Very nice experience, clean boat, very educated staff and breathtaking views all along the way!
